CRIMINAL LAWYERS.


How Many OF Them Aid in Undermining
the Social Fabric.
OF course every accused man is en-
titled to fair trial, but it is undoubtedly
the case that many well-meaning men,
to say nothing of some of different
sort, go much further than they have
any shadow of moral right to do in
helping by various legal devices to
shield from punishment men who are
heinous crimes. If all lawyers had the
conscientiousness of Abraham Lincoln
in his law practice, they would take a
different course. Rev. Madison G.
Peters of Philadelphia, gives in one of
his sermons his own views on the sub
ject as follows:
Criminal lawyers are in large meas
ure to blame for the large number of
crimes and criminals. When man
has committed crime, he weighs his
chances to escape punishment by the
amount of money he is able to pay a
lawyer for his defense. So much money
will secure such lawyer, whose very
II
name carries power with it to so inf1u-
ence Jury as to secure acquittal. or a
disagreement, which is about equal to
an acquittal. Now would not deny the
worst criminal the right to a defense;
but when crime has been commit
ted that shocks the moral sense of even
irreligious people, and when there is no
doubt as to the mans guilt, then, when
in answer to call for money lawyer
lends his name, his influence. his elo-
quence, his wit and his wisdom in de-
tense of that criminal, and when, by in
genuities. by unwarranted exceptions,
by packing the jury, so as to be able
to tell beforehand what the verdict will
be, and by perversion of law, secures
the acquittal of the criminal, or has
awarded him ridiculously inadequate
sentence, then say such a lawyer-nc
matter what his social standing, what his
qualifications-such lawyer becomes
the accomplice of criminals. He helps
to undermine our social fabric. and dis.
graces an honorable profession. - Con-

Discrimination in Words.

Pretty refers to external beauty on a
small scale. Grace of manner is a
natural gift; elegance implies cultiva-
ton. Well bred is referable to general
conduct rather than individual actions.
Beautiful is the strongest word of its
class, implying softness and delicacy in
addition to every thing that is in
similar words. Courtesy has reference
to others. politeness to ourselves. The
former is duty or privilege to others.
the latter. is behavior assumed from
proper self-respect Benevolent refers
to the character of the agent acting,
beneficent to the act performed.
Charitable is restricted to almsgiving
except when used in reference to judg-
ment of others. Lovely is used only
where there is something more than ex-
ternal beauty, when there is combina-
ton of personal beauty and pleasing
manner. Faultless features do not
make lady louely who is disagreeable
in disposition. of Educetion.

great deal of trouble with young fell
lows of nineteen OF twenty who wish to

parents. They all swear that they

BUTTER-MILK FOR HOGS.
How to Feed 1t as to Provide tn
Greatest Amount of Nutrition.

How to Feed 1t so as to Provide tho
Greatest Amount of Nutrition.
Buttermilk is highly heterogeneous
food containing about one part OF nitro
gen to two of carbon. The proportion
of nitrogen is atleast twice as great as it
need be, and as it should be to be profit
able-that is, to feed without material
waste. Corn-meal, on the other hand,
is highly carbonaceous, containing
eight or nine parts of carbon to one OF
nitrogen. 1t is at least twice as car
bonaceous as it should be, just as the
butter-milk is twice too heterogeneous.
Now due mixture of both these two
foods will probaly balance the ration
and secure the greatest economy, both
in preventing waste and in providing
the greatest amount of nutrition. In
feeding pigs, to begin with, Prof.
Henry, of the Wisconsin Agricultural
Experimental Station, recommends
one pound of meal to each gallon
of butter-milk This leaves the ration
still strong in the heterogeneous
element necessary to promote growth.
AS the pigs advance in size, and fat
rather than growth and muscle is de-
sired, more cornmeal may be added.
This will make the food more carbona-
ceous and cause the hogs to lay on
more fat. In some experiments made
at the Massachusetts Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, counting corn meal
worth $28 ton and buttermilk at Is
cents per 100 pounds, it was found that
a pound of pork cost 4.6 cents. At
first, ~ ounces of corn meal were
added to each gallon of buttermilk, on
another occasion. and the quantity OF
meal gradually increased, closing with
81 pounds of cornmeal and three gall
Ions If buttermilk to each hog. Reck-
oning on the same basis, the cost OF a
pound of pork was 5.7S cents. This
was in the winter, the difference in the
season accounting for most of the differ
encc in cost. In the first case it took
"a pounds of dry matter to make
pound of pork; in the second, S.67

He suffered bravely. He did not
die. The next Fourth of July he
hobbled out on his crutches to see the
procession.
In few summers he was able to
walk without clutches.
Was he not lucky? He did not seem
to think so. He moved westward, and
yet his affair remained a tradition OF
the town-whether it were worse
with him or with Dutchy Fobes was
often up for debate when the water
was a trine too cold at the swimming
hole, and the Sanhedrim sat in
plenary council on the bank of the
lake. 1t was truly barbaric idea on

pirate would admit in his heart.

mercial traveller misses his connec-
tons and must spend a good portion
of his Fourth of July at this same vii
lage. The sunrise comes, and he finds
that he can not sleep after the first

front street with peculiar emotions.

sees that the printing-oflice is open.

the back end of your park. = Chicago
